Obi’s visit was not only focused on learning about political strategies but also on understanding the broader social and economic transformations that occurred in Indonesia during Jokowi’s presidency. According to Usra, Obi wanted to gather information that could be applied to Nigeria’s own political and economic context, hoping to replicate some of Indonesia’s successes.

During their meeting, Jokowi shared his experiences from his time as mayor, governor, and president. He discussed the challenges he faced at each stage and how he navigated them, providing valuable insights into the leadership process. Jokowi emphasized that his leadership was not only about managing the country but also about fostering unity and ensuring that policies were inclusive and beneficial to all Indonesians.

Jokowi expressed his openness to sharing his leadership experiences with international visitors like Obi, recognizing the importance of global learning and exchange. He noted that as more foreign politicians sought to learn from Indonesia’s development, it demonstrated the effectiveness of Indonesia’s leadership model. Jokowi’s ability to guide the country through significant transformation serves as an example of how effective governance can create lasting positive change. (Uki Ruknuddin)
